Problem
Printfection faced challenges with increasing costs for sending physical swag internationally and the need for a more flexible way to express gratitude or provide incentives for attending online events. To address this, they developed a new feature called Digital Gift Cards, allowing users to purchase digital gift cards from various retailers.
Objectives
Objectives included reducing shipping costs, enhancing user experience, and decreasing customer churn. The design process involved thorough research, collaboration, and evaluation of gift card vendors, ultimately selecting Tango Card. Key features of the Digital Gift Cards included retailer selection, denomination options, easy integration with existing functionality, and global accessibility. Usability testing yielded positive feedback, with users appreciating the convenience and flexibility of the new feature.
